Chicken and Rice Patties

My kids adored these. They thought they tasted just like my fried rice. I wasn’t sure I would like them cold and while they are even tastier hot, they did taste great cold too.

I made these for school lunches, but they would make a great picnic food or made in mini muffin trays they would be a great finger food for a party.

Chicken and Rice Patties

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked jasmin rice (about 1 cup uncooked)

1 chicken breast

½ tablespoon olive oil

1 large carrot

3 spring onions stalks

1 1/3 cups grated mozzarella cheese

3 eggs

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200° Celsius.

2. Slice chicken breast in half width ways, so it will cook through quicker.

3. Heat oil in a medium frying pan and cook chicken breast until it begins to brown.

4. Remove from pan and shred chicken using a fork and set aside.

5. Grate carrot so you have at least 1 cup.

6. Finely slice spring onions.

7. Lightly beat the eggs.

8. In a large bowl add cooked rice, chicken, carrot, spring onions, eggs and about ¾s of the cheese and mix well.

9. Spray muffin trays with cooking spray and then spoon mixture into the trays. Top with remaining cheese.

10. Place in the oven for 15 minutes until the tops turn golden brown.

11. Let them sit in the trays for a few minutes before removing to rack to cool. Use a knife to work around the edges of the rice patties to make removing them easier. This recipe made 12 Chicken and Rice Patties.
